NSFW Google Maps

Last week Google Sightseeing found on Street View something strange going on in a back street of Manchester. Unfortunately the prudes at Google Maps quickly removed the offending images so all you see now in Street View is a black screen with the message "This image is no longer available".

Not to be outdone by Google some scally has responded by renaming the location of the Street View on Google Maps. I'm pretty sure that Google will quickly edit the street name back to the original name. However I suspect that Temperance Street in Manchester will now forever be known as Hand Job Alley.

On a semi-related note I was recently inspired by Gary Gale's Vaguely Rude Places map to create my own version using the Map Label Library. My NSFW Map has a lot fewer locations than Gary's map because I got bored and couldn't be bothered to map all the locations.
